Chandra, a former sideshow mentalist, discovers that his skills of observation and manipulation can be profitable in the realm of fortune-telling. He capitalizes on people's vulnerabilities and desires, using his gift for reading body language and facial expressions to convincingly predict their futures.

As Chandra's reputation grows, he attracts the attention of wealthy socialites and businessmen eager for guidance. However, his unethical practices catch up with him when he becomes entangled in a web of deceit, betrayal, and blackmail.

Amidst his rise to fame and fortune, Chandra finds himself torn between his desire for wealth and power and his conscience. He begins to question the morality of his actions and the impact they have on the lives of others, particularly when he falls for a sincere and kind-hearted woman named Sylvia (Constance Cummings).
